    Summary

    That’s just the thing, isn’t it? Wei Ying feels nothing. He doesn’t feel anything, and this emptiness should scare him. He knows he should be scared. He wants to be scared. He isn’t. Fear itself is never scary; fear is just a response. It means that your body wants you alive. It’s the absence of terror that scares him.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Lan Zhan watches him. Wei Ying watches his dinner, chopsticks quiet as a rope bridge across his bowl. It really is soundless in their apartment; Lan Zhan never noticed the silence until it bothered Wei Ying, and now he presses his fingers against it to pin it back.

    “Stay here and breathe,” Lan Zhan says.

    Summary

    The thing with musical prodigies is that they're soloists, and soloists play alone. He doesn't want to play alone anymore.

    -

    "A summer guest lecture series? Oh, very nice. I wish I could sit in on that."

    "Do you also play the piano?"

    "Not even a little bit," says Wei Ying cheerfully. "But I'm sure you'd have a lot of thoughts on musicality that would be relevant regardless."

    "Oh," says Lan Zhan. He seems to be searching for something else to say. "I believe it is oversubscribed," he says finally.

    "As it should be," says Wei Ying, and does not tell him that he has all of Lan Zhan's albums downloaded onto his phone, listened to over and over when he's on a train, a plane, waiting for a taxi, has followed his career since he overheard half a Mendelssohn when they were fifteen.

    Summary

    Jin Ling’s needs were constant and repetitive; they ran like a lifeline through Jiang Cheng’s days. He didn’t need to see past the next feeding, the next changing. He didn’t need to persuade himself to get out of bed in the morning; sooner or later Lingling would cry, and he would find he could move after all. In the middle of the night, when neither of them could sleep, he paced up and down the room, holding Lingling to his chest, whispering, “Jiujiu’s here. I won’t leave you alone. I promise.”
    ---
    Jiang Cheng knew Lan Zhan had been seeing way more of Wei Ying than he had, but it still burned: Lan Zhan’s easy familiarity with Wei Ying’s household, with his thoughts. I’m the one that grew up with him. He was mine first.

    Summary

    Lan Wangji has never had particular cause to dislike Jiang Cheng more than he dislikes most people, and his good qualities are not enough to inspire liking, but there is another characteristic they share which brings them to this fire on this night and causes a tangled mix of empathy and jealousy to sprout in his chest: they both love Wei Wuxian. 

    ---
    Three times Jiang Cheng and Lan Wangji grieved Wei Wuxian, and one time they didn't.
